Does It Count?

I was watching deleted scenes from House, on DVD and there came a point when a certain character contracted a deadly incurable disease(being vague for House fans out there). But this is never mentioned ever again in that season or another and the character is in nearly every episode after that.

So my question... Do deleted scenes count?

Simple

I'm making changes in my life... whether they are permanent or not will be seen.

I'm giving up my "technological life".

This is Bye Bye.... for now.

Death = Living

Death has been all around me this past month and it had me in a melancholy mood all morning.

Thankfully we had a call at work for a hospice patient (Hospice meaning a place for people who are dying). There I was in the back of the ambulance with her. She rolls over and looks at me....

Her "You look like someone just died, who was it?"
Me "How did you know?"
Her "People stare at me like I'm already dead every day, I'm used to it. So come with it, who died"

I explained to her my comparably tiny problems. She then gave me the best wisdom ever.

"Dream as if you will live forever and live like you will die today. God takes those who He takes so be ready. Every day, decide on one thing you want to do, one thing for yourself... hug your wife, call your mom, take a walk, take a long shower, read, or just do nothing.... and don't go to sleep until you've done it. Life isn't about going to special places on vacations, it's about what you make of your time where your at"

Justification

I was reading this guy and some... genius tore up Keith Green for being a "pot head" and accidentally killed himself and his children in a plane accident. This bothered me a little.

The church has a problem with being two-faced. Liars, cheaters, and Gluttons are alright sins, the church will forget about those. But drugs and homosexuality, those automatically are worse than anything else.

Sin is sin. No matter what. No other way about it. If you cheated on a test your freshman year, then you are just as bad as the guy who cheats on his wife nightly with an arsenal of hookers.

I Want to REWARD You

There is a special reward... how about free Chipotle, for the first person who can satisfactorily answer this question. This isn't some trivia, this is me honestly wanting to know the answer.

How is it possible for us to "run out of water"? I mean, even if we leave the water running when we brush our teeth, it goes down the drain, to the sewer pipes, then to a water treatment plant then back into the earth. Where is anything lost? even if we throw it on the ground it will evaporate and then come back as rain....

The only was I conceive that we can really run out of water is do launch it into outer space... which as far as I know, we don't do.

PLEASE HELP ME!

Kiki

Today Nathan and I were introduced to the lady who will be sharing the office with us. I would like to introduce the newest member of the creative staff here at WFFC

Kiki

Bobby dislikes ________

A. Change
B. Head On
C. WWJD
D. Dentists

All of the above actually but right now I have a severe disdain for Change. Not just the annoying metal in your pocket but that scenario in which your left alone and not sure what's going on.

What bothers me isn't the fact I don't know what's happening or that I can't control it. It's that I don't know what to do.

1st Anniversary

March 26th 2007 was epic.
I was hit over the head with a bottle while on duty.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but let me tell you, it's exhilarating

C-A-R-E-E-R

I am finally done working for crap pay, no more part-time jobs.
Say hello to the newest member of MedTrans.

If you don't know, I've been an EMT for about 8 months and I finally have a full time job in Springfield working on an ambulance. This is the hardest company in the Greater Miami Valley area to get onto, they pay the most, and revered as the most employee friendly company around.

Easter

"Resurrection Sunday" as the old folks call it. I understand the meaning behind it, I understand and appreciate what it stands for and why we celebrate it... but isn't the real triumph of the Christian world not when Jesus rose but when He died? Shouldn't we celebrate more the day he died not the day he rose?

Not trying to change the world here, it was just a thought.

"The Brilliance Conundrum" or

"The Brilliance Conundrum" or "Intelligence Dies Alone"

Ever notice how the brilliant ones are always on the "available" side of the road?

Stephen Hawking, Buddha ,Leonardo Da Vinci, Gandolf, Sir Issac Newton, Edgar Allen Poe, Jesus.... And Jane Austen for the ladies out there.

What makes the extremely brilliant strive for solidarity? Is it true that "you can either change your life or you can change humanity" ?

Granger

This conference is a lot like when your almost old enough to drive. It seems so cool, you can't wait, you've promised yourself that this day wouldn't blow. But after you drive for a few weeks it's old business.

Granger, a gorgeous campus, wonderful building, but I'm not that impressed with the "Maximizing Media". It's more like "How to start media in your Church" The only thing that I can actually walk away from is the Adobe After Effects class. It is SLIGHTLY informative, but it's nothing I couldn't of found out after a few hours of fiddling around.

They tried, and I want to give them credit... but it feels like the day I found out Santa wasn't real.

Hi-Ho Hi-Ho

What will make this day so great?

Psychology

I've, for as long as I can remember, had dreams that involved me flying but just as soon as I get off the ground I end up falling.

Thanks to one of my friends who is a psychologist, he psychoanalyzes me when he comes to visit(He calls me his biggest mystery) and all I have to do is buy him 2 fish sandwiches from McDonalds; anyways, turns out I have "unresolved fears and a subconscious seatbelt that is inhibiting me from breaking free"

This being said my new goal is to... un-inhibit myself over the next few months. Maybe then I can proverbially fly.

Fears

I have had many fears in my life... all of which I overcame. Spiders, not a problem.
Snakes, who cares.
The dark, damned creepy but still no longer bothersome.


But I still can't shake this fear of the Dentist. If I don't go to the dentist regularly, then that means I will develop cavities which means I will have to go more often... so the only way I can avoid the dentist is by going to him. Now that blows.

We won. This service was a hard one tech wise. Lights were dying, sound was fading, and Pastor's brain is kicking the bucket. The flow was all off and yet it was an impacting service.

::side thought:: I wonder how amazing it would of been without the distractions.

Rollin' w/ the Punches

The disasters and accidents keep on coming, this has to be a service that Satan doesn't want to happen. We are fighting through though.

Update

Disasters averted, we've won the battle over Sunday Plus.

Service

This is already starting to be an interesting service, thank you Sunday Plus.

Disappointed

33

I would of thought I could take on at least 40, maybe even 50.

Words of Wisdom

I enjoy gathering nuggets of intellect from those around me. This is one from our Youth Pastor, Larry Orndorff.

"You know, sin is a lot like a stinky pinky... no matter how much you try not to smell it(sniffs pinky finger, then cringes) you just can't help but do it."

Random Fact Generator

Found this gem.

Here is an excerpt... Picky linguists will tell you that the feminine version of “dude” is "dudine" not “dudette.”

Not Worth It

I get gut instincts. They are almost always right, like 90% of the time. But even though I know they are probably right I still give in sometimes.

No Country For Old Men... Even though my gut instincts were screaming "NOT WORTH IT! DON'T DO IT!"

I gave in and I regret it sincerely. Was it a bad movie? Not really. But it sure wasn't worth my time. Best movie of 2007? Far from it!!!! Juno, I am Legend, Veggie Tales, Cloverfield... all so much more worth the $5.50.

Words of Wisdom

A wise Doc once told me of "The signs of CPR"

Signs of CORRECT CPR:
With each compression you feel the ribs cracking and breaking.
The patient gurgles
And if in the morning your back hurts so badly you can't walk.

Signs of INCORRECT CPR:
The patient burps/ farts
The patient throws up
The patient is screaming "For the love of God stop that"

Zzzzz

Fight Quest on Discovery Channel is the most boring show made. Who knew men beating the crap out of each other could suck so much?

They travel the world to learn fighting styles from all cultures... Sounds cool, no?
These guys are morons with a "typical" pious "American" attitudes. But could one expect much more from two pro fighters.

"Hey, he punches hard. I didn't know indians could fight"

Watch next Friday at 10PM EST as these idiots get the butts handed to them by a bunch of Frenchmen!

Road Tripping
